Yaeji

Dance/Electronic Musician

Yaejiis KathyYaejiLee, a 24-year-old dance producer who splits time between Seoul and New York.

Yaeji’s music is an invitation into an intimate, healing, world exploring identity and self-reflection through dreamlike house productions that morph from whispery confessionals to dancefloor burners. Yaeji’s first two EPs came out in 2017, and have been praised by Pitchfork, Fader, Resident Advisor, BBC Radio 1, Beats 1, and more.

“Soundtoys helped me use my voice as a musical instrument like I’ve always wanted it to be.” –Yaeji

You can hear Little AlterBoy formant-shifting the lead vocal as Yaeji repeates the phrase “반대편에는” (“to the other side”) in the song “Noonside” from the Yaeji EP:

You can hear Crystallizer and EchoBoy in action on her hit song, “Raingurl,” off of EP2, where you hear the ambiences creating a swirling sense of time and space around the characters in the club:

“Crystallizer is my favorite and at this point an essential element of my sound. When it’s applied to my voice, I can create intimate, dreamy textures. The way it interacts with Korean words when delayed and reverse recycled is unlike anything else.” –Yaeji

"Plug-ins like Decapitator, Devil-Loc, EchoBoy, Little AlterBoy, FilterFreak… to me these aren’t just for post-production and mixing - they can also serve as sources of inspiration during tracking and writing."
